My Bunco Babes...

A friend of mine who just moved back here has started up a Bunco group!! I was lucky enough to be able to host the first evening and it was SOOOO much fun!! It began with a theme and I chose "Pink Party" because over the holidays I really thought of and missed my late grandmothers (June & Pearl). Both of them were breast cancer survivors and so the theme was born. All of the ladies were told to wear pink.

For dinner I decided to serve up one of my favorite dishes Lasagna Roll-ups (recipe coming soon). For some reason I am obsessed with them right now and I thought they would be perfect for a group of ladies. I also made french bread and green salad...

Dessert is where things really got with the theme. Pink ribbon sugar cookies & Pink Raspberry mini cheesecakes were on the menu.

There was also a silent auction. I hand crafted 3 items, along with a bottle of wine and the ladies bid on them throughout the night. We made a total of $40.00 which will be donated to the Susan J. Komen Foundation. It was a fabulous night of great company and huge laughs. Here are a few of my favorite shots...

First and foremost I am a mom but I am also a girl who loves food. I enjoy food because it brings people together. My enthusiasm for food was handed down to me from my mother and almost everything I know about food and life I have learned from her.
I live in Lakeview, Oregon with my two children Tate (aka Taters-16) and Taylea (aka Tales-14). Now you understand the blog name!! I used to work full time as a Title Officer at a local Title Company but in January of this year I purchased a local deli and am now a business owner. Love it!!
